2023 Breeders' Cup
By TVG Staff
Updated November 3, 2023
Breeder’s Cup season is the most exciting time of year for horseplayers, and the season has reached its crescendo with the Breeders’ Cup World Championships on November 3 and 4 at Santa Anita Park. With 14 world championship races featuring the leading horses in every division, they are fields unlike any other races all year long. On dirt and turf, going short and long, live horses go off at massive prices and give bettors opportunities for life-changing scores. It’s time to be part of the action by getting to know the horses and placing your bets at TVG, the official wagering partner of Breeders’ Cup 2023.
Even though betting on horse racing is pari-mutuel, meaning final odds are not known until race day, the morning lines are an excellent handicapping tool to help you determine what the final Breeders’ Cup odds may be. They give an expert forecast of which runners are expected to take a lot of money and which are not, meaning you can get an idea of where you’ll find value in the weekend’s championship races. Keep reading to find out more about how to play the races, and to see the post draws and Breeders’ Cup odds for the leading races.
2023 Breeders’ Cup Championship
There is still plenty of time for many of these individual Breeders Cup odds to change dramatically as news breaks of the status and condition of dozens of top candidates. After all, that’s a fact of horse racing: bettors take into account things like pace and performance in Breeders’ Cup Challenge races, but also like to take into account how they train into the race.
The Breeders’ Cup Classic is the feature race of the meet; this $6 million spectacle is the center point of the Breeders’ Cup betting plans for many handicappers. The Saturday races end with the Classic, so the multi-race sequences all lead to the big dance, whether it is the Pick 3, Pick 4, or Pick 6.
How the Breeders’ Cup Odds Are Formulated
Betting the top Breeders’ Cup races means understanding that the starting odds will have fluctuated plenty in the lead-up to post time. Morning line odds are announced in the days before the race, and they can be a great guide to which horses are expected to take money or not. However, final odds are finally determined on the parimutuel system, where the total money bet into the pool is spread out over the popularity of the runners.
Put another way, if there is a lot of cash in the betting pool, and your chosen horse isn’t too popular, then the starting odds could be huge. Equally, if you place qualifying bets on horses that go on to be odds favored, it will obviously mean a lower payoff when the gates finally open on November 3 & 4.
Whatever way the cup betting markets move you can be sure we will keep you close to the action and current odds here at TVG, so sign up now if you haven’t already to bet Breeders’ races and much more!
Breeders’ Cup Classic Odds
Even with top three-year-olds like Arcangelo, Geaux Rocket Ride, and Kentucky Derby winner Mage out of the Breeders’ Cup Classic, including Arcangelo being scratched Tuesday morning after the draw, it is still a three-year-old expected to lead the market for the richest Breeders’ Cup race. That horse is Pacific Classic (G1) winner Arabian Knight for local trainer Baffert. Arabian Knight was named the morning-line favorite even with Arcangelo in the field, and the retirement of Arcangelo probably leads to Arabian Knight being an even heavier favorite.
Among older horses, expect a lot of interest on Whitney (G1) winner White Abarrio, trained by Rick Dutrow, and Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Ushba Tesoro for Noburo Takago. Bright Future is an improving horse who should be a square price in his bid for Breeders’ Cup Classic glory, while Zandon is a consistent top-level performer who makes sense for exotic wagers.

12 | Arabian Knight | Flavien Prat | Bob Baffert | 3-1 |
13 | Proxy | Joel Rosario | Michael Stidham | 12-1 |
Breeders’ Cup Turf Odds
European shippers often dominate the Breeders’ Cup Turf: between 2015 and 2022, the only United States-based winner was Bricks and Mortar in 2019. Auguste Rodin, winner of both the Irish Derby (G1) and the Epsom Derby (G1) for Aidan O’Brien, is expected to be the Breeders’ Cup Turf favorite after vanquishing older in the Irish Champion Stakes (G1). John and Thady Gosden train two other leading international prospects for this race: Juddmonte International (G1) winner Mostahdaf and Coronation Cup (G1) and Coronation Cup (G1) winner Emily Upjohn. Expect Roger Varian trainee King of Steel to be among the favorites, too, if Roger Varian decides to wheel him back off his British Champion Stakes (G1) score.
Among the Americans, the best Breeders’ Cup Turf hope is Up to the Mark, a three-time Grade 1 winner stateside. Those top-level wins vary in distance from a mile to 1 ¼ miles. In light of that versatility, trainer Todd Pletcher has yet to decide whether Up to the Mark will go in the Turf or the Mile, but he will take a lot of American betting money no matter where he goes.

12 | Balladeer | Victor Espinoza | George Papaprodromou | 30-1 |
13 | War Like Goddess | Junior Alvarado | Bill Mott | 12-1 |
Breeders’ Cup Distaff Odds
With Nest unable to recapture her form at age four and Secret Oath retired, one of the strongest Breeders’ Cup favorites of the whole weekend should be the rising star Idiomatic. Idiomatic has won seven of her eight starts this year, including the Personal Ensign (G1) and the Spinster (G1). With early speed usually a good thing at Santa Anita, even the pace players will be likely to get on board with this Brad Cox charge.
Adare Manor, the leading West Coast distaffer for Bob Baffert, will be well bet in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff thanks to a five-win streak. That streak includes one top-level win, the Clement L. Hirsch (G1). Others who should take at least some wagering interest include Alabama (G1) and Beldame (G2) winner Randomized for Chad Brown, and perennial Distaff placegetter Clairiere for Steve Asmussen. Pretty Mischievous, the Kentucky Oaks winner, looked like a leading contender but was scratched Friday because trainer Brendan Walsh believed she was not 100 percent after shipping out.

10 | Desert Dawn | Hector Berrios | Phil D’Amato | 20-1 |
11 | Le Da Vida | Vincent Cheminaud | Ignacio Correas | 20-1 |
Breeders’ Cup Mile Odds
The Breeders’ Cup Mile should be an extremely competitive betting race. Overseas shippers have won the Breeders’ Cup Mile each of the last five years, and several horses from outside North America are expected to be atop the market this year as well. Top Japanese miler Songline, the Toru Hayashi trainee who has won the Yasuda Kinen (G1) the last two years, is the likely favorite. Other horses from abroad who are expected to be well bet in the Mile include Prix de la Foret (G2) and British Champions Sprint (G1) second-place finisher Kinross for trainer Ralph Beckett and Woodbine Mile winner Master of the Seas for Charlie Appleby. Appleby has won the last two editions of this race.
However, some American horses should also be near the top of the tote board. Those include Casa Creed, a two-time Fourstardave (G1) winner for trainer Bill Mott, and Up to the Mark, who nosed out Master of the Seas in the Coolmore Turf Mile (G1) for Todd Pletcher.

13 | More Than Looks | Joel Rosario | Cherie DeVaux | 15-1 |
14 | Master of the Seas | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | 7-2 |
Breeders’ Cup Sprint Odds
Elite Power claimed his place atop the sprint division in the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Sprint, and the Bill Mott trainee is expected to be a heavy favorite this year. He has won three of his four starts this year, and though Gunite had his number in the Forego (G1) last out, the turn back to six furlongs plays to Elite Power’s strengths.
The aforementioned Gunite should be next in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint betting for trainer Steve Asmussen, given his form through Elite Power. There are several West Coast hopes expected to take money as well. Speed Boat Beach will be for Bob Baffert despite his only start this year being a second-place run in the Santa Anita Sprint Championship (G2). The Chosen Vron is undefeated in five starts this year for Eric Kruljac, with his most recent win coming in the Bing Crosby (G1). Dr. Schivel, second in this race two years ago for Mark Glatt, won the Santa Anita Sprint Championship last out.

8 | Elite Power | Irad Ortiz, Jr. | Bill Mott | 9-5 |
9 | Gunite | Tyler Gaffalione | Steve Asmussen | 4-1 |
Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf Odds
International contenders are expected to lead the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf betting: and, no wonder, as the only North American runner to win between 2016 and 2022 was Sistercharlie in 2018. John and Thady Gosden train a likely favorite in Inspiral, who won the Prix Jacques le Marois (G1) and the Sun Chariot (G1) in her last two starts. Another possible favorite is Warm Heart for Aidan O’Brien. She is five-for-seven this year, with wins in the Yorkshire Oaks (G1) and Prix Vermeille (G1) in her last two outings.
Among horses based in North America, horses likely to take some action include local prep winner Didia, who won the Rodeo Drive (G2) for Ignacio Correas, four-time Grade 1 winner In Italian for Chad Brown, and Del Mar Oaks (G1) winner Anisette for Leonard Powell.

10 | McKulick | Irad Ortiz, Jr. | Chad Brown | 15-1 |
11 | Lumiere Rock | Dylan McMonagle | Joseph O’Brien | 12-1 |
12 | State Occasion | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | 20-1 |
TVG Juvenile Odds
The top of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile market should be hotly contested. Prince of Monaco, for trainer Bob Baffert, looked a likely favorite after his Best Pal (G3) romp but was pushed to his limit to hold over stablemate Muth in the Del Mar Futurity (G1). the aforementioned Muth came back to win the American Pharoah (G1) on his way to the Breeders’ Cup.
Some shippers could battle at the top of the market with this leading West Coast pair, as well. Locked, for trainer Todd Pletcher, has come into his own as distances got longer and denied more experienced The Wine Steward in the Breeders’ Futurity (G1). Despite that close finish, that was enough to make him the morning-line favorite. Brad Cox trainee Timberlake has yet to try two turns, but he is bred for it and he won the one-mile Champagne (G1) with authority.

TVG Juvenile Odds
The top of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile market should be hotly contested. Prince of Monaco, for trainer Bob Baffert, looked a likely favorite after his Best Pal (G3) romp but was pushed to his limit to hold over stablemate Muth in the Del Mar Futurity (G1). the aforementioned Muth came back to win the American Pharoah (G1) on his way to the Breeders’ Cup.
Some shippers could battle at the top of the market with this leading West Coast pair, as well. Locked, for trainer Todd Pletcher, has come into his own as distances got longer and denied more experienced The Wine Steward in the Breeders’ Futurity (G1). Despite that close finish, that was enough to make him the morning-line favorite. Brad Cox trainee Timberlake has yet to try two turns, but he is bred for it and he won the one-mile Champagne (G1) with authority.
